Interactions between former President Donald Trump and Jimmy Kimmel have been less than diplomatic as of recently. The late-night talk show personality, who hosted the Oscar Awards this year, and Trump have continually exchanged bitter comments.
During the Oscars, Kimmel read a Truth Social post from Trump live on air, where the GOP frontrunner criticized the host’s performance during the award ceremony. After reading the highly critical opinion from Trump to the audience, Kimmel said to Trump, “Isn’t it past your jail time?”
Trump took another jab at Kimmel on Truth Social, where he alleged the host of “Jimmy Kimmel Live” is suffering from Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS), a typical behavior among left-wing media personalities when they express their disdain toward Trump.
The presumptive Republican presidential candidate also called out the Oscars for its “big ratings drop,” where the awards show’s ratings pale in comparison to the audience it used to attain in prior decades. Trump further mocked Kimmel for reading his Truth on live TV while claiming he is the worst host in the show’s history.
“Stupid Jimmy Kimmel, who still hasn’t recovered from his horrendous performance and big ratings drop as Host of The Academy Awards, especially when he showed he suffered from TDS, commonly known as TRUMP DERANGEMENT SYNDROME, to the entire World by reading on air my TRUTH about how bad a job he was doing that night, right before he stumbled through announcing the biggest award of all, “Picture of the Year.” It was a CLASSIC CHOKE, one of the biggest ever in show business, and to top it off, he forgot to say the famous and mandatory line, “AND THE WINNER IS.” Instead he stammered around as he opened the envelope. Supposedly his wife, and even management, begged him not to do it, “DON’T READ HIS TRUTH, JIMMY, PLEASE DON’T DO THIS,” they said. He was made to look like a FOOL, which he is, and at the same time go down in Television History as the WORST HOST EVER OF THE ONCE VAUNTED ACADEMY AWARDS!” Trump wrote.
The American Tribune reported on the incident at the Oscars this year, which displayed the strife between Kimmel and Trump. The former president’s Truth Social post suggested the event had lost many entertaining aspects that made it worth watching in the past.
Trump’s post began, “Has there EVER been a WORSE HOST than Jimmy Kimmel at The Oscars. His opening was that of a less than average person trying too hard to be something which he is not, and never can be. Get rid of Kimmel and perhaps replace him with another washed up, but cheap, ABC “talent,” George Slopanopoulos. He would make everybody on stage look bigger, stronger, and more glamorous.”
The post continued criticizing the awards show, adding, “Also a really bad politically correct show tonight, and for years – Disjointed, boring, and very unfair. Why don’t they just give the Oscars to those that deserve them. Maybe that way their audience and TV ratings will come back from the depths. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!”
